5 WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO THE SOCIETY

 

Do you want to give back to the society? Many people hold the false belief that only those who are established in life are required to care for the society, yet this is untrue. Each and every individual on the planet has a duty to live in a way that perfectly balances their own development with that of the society at large. The saying of the adage “little drops of water make an ocean” is accurate. A small act of kindness can make a big difference in the world just as much as a large donation or a heroic deed.

So @amrisonblogspot is here to give you few tips on how you can contribute meaningfully to your society.

• FAMILY ORGANIZATION.

Population growth has grown to be a significant worry in the described situation.  If the population boom continues to grow at the same rate, earth will not be able to support it. Planning ahead for your family will benefit not just your own family and money, but also the environment as a whole.

 

• DONATING BLOOD.

Numerous lives have been lost and continue to be lost as a result of inadequate blood banks and limited blood supply. This life-saving portion is simple to contribute, and you can donate it to help many people throughout your lifetime.  A major personal benefit of blood donation is that it not only benefits the community, but also tests your blood for viruses that can be discovered by the blood.

•    DONATE YOUR TIME AND UNWANTED PROPERTY.

Volunteering will benefit the society as a whole and provide you some mental peace at the same time that you take time out of your busy schedule to do it.  As a volunteer, you may do so much more, like assisting the elderly ones, individuals with disabilities, hospitals that are short-staffed, and many more causes. It is simpler to throw away an item you no longer need, but you can also donate an extra items you have laying around your home like books, clothes, shoes, toys etc.

 

•    PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE.

Ensure you take care of your surroundings at all times, and do not litter the ground with filth of any sort.

 

•  HELP PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY IMPROVE THEIR LIVES BY TEACHING THEM PRACTICAL SKILLS.

You must undoubtedly possess excellent abilities and expertise, and by imparting your knowledge to others, you can benefit the society. Also raising their consciousness about the ways they can contribute to the society is important. You should educate them about current health problems, global challenges, environmental dangers etc.

 

We hope these few tips will help you feel fulfilled in the society, and also make it a better place for us all.

5 TIPS TO MAKE FRIENDS

 

It is no stroll in the park to make new friends as adults, especially the introverts. But the fact still stands that as human beings, we all need someone. We cannot live life in solitude perpetually. Life without friends can be very boring. We need someone to hold our hands in our darkest moments and tell us everything will be alright, we need someone who we can always emulate and look up to when all chips are down in our lives. Rene Descartes stated in one of his theories. “I am because we are, since we are, therefore I am.” This implies that our existence is dependent on the human race.

It is ok if you love being alone sometimes, but if you do not love it, but you frequently find yourself doing that, then read along.

A lot of adults have become very strict when relating with people. They no longer transport with the idea of becoming friends with people of basic mindset, thus, making the situation more chronic to handle.

Do you feel you have little or nobody that you can contact in the face of challenges?

Do you feel you frequently find yourself alone even when you do not want to?   

Do you feel if you remain indoor for weeks, people barely notice?

If your answers to these questions are all YES, then this article is definitely for you.

Kindly subscribe to @amrisonblog for more updates.

•      Be AUTHENTIC.

The first step to making long-lasting friends is by being you. Most people misquote this point a lot by believing you have to feign perfection when meeting someone newly. First impression does not necessarily last forever, but correct impression does. This trait makes you stand out as most people do not love imposters. Authenticity is magnified in the society. This is because a lot of people in this contemporary age have caged themselves in the societal expectations box in order to scale through. So, when people sense authenticity in people, they are mostly drawn to them even from their subconscious as they find it unique and probably wish to absorb the trait as well.

 

•  BE CHEERFUL.

This is another trait that is attractive to people and can earn you the relationship you desire. Putting on a smile always can make people interested in you. Cheerfulness is being choosing happiness over situations most times. A lot of people are going through mischiefs, and do not need any more problems by being with someone who appears more depressing than they are. Rather, they need someone who can spread joy into their lives and lessen the efficacy of their struggles. So being cheerful is potent in this approach.

•        CONFIDENCE.

Confidence is a general trait everyone must exhibit in life. The absence of this can make life scary and less meaningful. Being fearful and unsure of your self poses a higher risk of eventually succumbing to your worst scenario. Confidence starts from the mind. It matters a lot in our outlooks about life which motivates us into certain responsibilities. Confidence enhances you to get what exactly you want, and dispel all manner of doubt towards it. You need to maximize this quality in making friends as well. It makes it easier as most people are inherently drawn to brave people.

 

•       KNOWLEDGE.

Another trait that germinates relationship is by being knowledgeable. Knowledge is power. Knowing things that are mostly void to people can draw people towards you. Most persons like to be around impactful people. If you seem vague about many ideas, then it will be right for you to delve into the habit of reading. Thus, knowledge has a way of making this theory a reality.

 

•        BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE.

This involves being empathetic, attending to people’s need and loving them dearly. Be a blessing to everyone you meet with a pure intent. Treat people with respect and courtesy irrespective of their identity in the society. This can make people admire you and even subconsciously appreciate your company and influence in their lives.

 

These among many others are the factors that can contribute to getting people attracted to you, thereby becoming friends consequently.

 

We hope these tips work for you. Kindly subscribe for more of our updates. We entertain questions as well.

HOW TO SAFELY AND PERMANENTLY LOSE WEIGHT

    According to Dr. Olesiak, severely limiting calories is not required and is really not advised. The healthiest and most long-lasting method of weight loss is to consume full, unprocessed, high-quality foods. He claims that “these foods naturally control your appetite, raise your metabolism, and encourage fat burning“

Feit continues, “Avoid as many processed foods, fried foods, and refined sugars as you can, and be mindful of portion size.”

Using the plate technique, she advises, in which half of your plate is made up of fruits and vegetables, a quarter of lean protein, and a quarter of fiber-rich carbohydrates.

According to Landau, eating a variety of unprocessed, clean meals can also help your gut health. “Good gut health is not linked to a stronger insulin response (which decreases fat stored around the midsection), but it can also help decrease inflammation and improve immunity, both of which will have you feeling better physically and mentally so you can stay on track to achieve your weight loss goals.” She continues.

Follow @amrisonblogspot for more updates.

The meals listed below can help you lose weight and improve your general health in a number of different ways.

   

    

                                                EGGS.

With the exception of vitamin C, eggs are a good source of minerals like phosphorus, calcium, and potassium. They are a source of complete protein and can be customizes for various tastes, according to Feit.

              SHRIMP.

According to Kleiner, eating shrimp increases fullness. Consuming shrimp appears to reduce hunger through increasing the hormone cholecystokinin, or CCK, which tells your stomach that you're full. Additionally, selenium and zinc, two essential minerals for a healthy immune system and more vitality, are found in shrimp and other shellfish.

       

                  APPLES.

According to Feit, apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants. The fruit also includes phytochemicals and vitamin C and has anti-inflammatory qualities.

     

                    AVOCADO.

According to Feit, avocados are seriously underestimated. The fruit is an excellent food for reducing hunger because it is high in fiber and a good source of healthful fat.

However, because avocado is a source of fat, it has high calorie content, thus it’s vital to pay attention to portion control.

                 GREEN BANANAS.

According to Landau, unripe bananas are one of the world’s richest sources of prebiotic-resistant starch. Prebiotic-resistant starch increases your cells’ sensitivity to insulin, preventing fat from accumulating around your midsection. It can keep you fiull for several hours when combined with protein (for example, in a smoothie with nut butter and/or protein powder.) 

 

                   RAW OATS.

According to Landau raw oats are a great source of resistant starch that is difficult to digest.

Resistant starch breaks down during digestion, releasing byproducts that can increase the sensitivity of your cells to insulin and aid in the loss of stubborn belly fat.

 

                    WATER.

While not a food, water is just as essential for a good weight loss plan.

According to Feit, “all of our body processes need water to function: metabolism is one of these processes.” So make sure to maintain a healthy hydration level.

   

          SEEDS AND NUTS.

According to Feit, nuts and seeds each offer unique health advantages. All nuts are filling sources of fiber, protein, and beneficial fats that also aid in satiety.

In the meanwhile, seeds are a fantastic source of healthy fat and minerals. Watch what you eat here as well. A quarter cup of nuts and seeds constitutes one serving.

 

                                       BERRIES.

According to Feit, berries are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, all of which your body needs to operate at its best.

 

We hope you learnt from these. Kindly make comments for more enlightenment.

STOP WASTING TIME, START BEING A LEADER

 

Some names that come to mind when considering exceptional leaders include Steve Jobs, Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Sheryl Sandberg, and Ariana Huffington. You can't help but wonder: What set them apart?

Is there a formula for producing successful leaders? Or is it possible that these leaders are the rarest of outliers, so exceptional as to be regarded as being outside the realm of mortality? The truth is that anyone can develop into a great leader with the correct guidance, inspiration, and values. Many outstanding leaders were once common people who had to develop their leadership skills.

We'll demonstrate how to begin studying how to become a good leader in order to assist you in developing your leadership abilities. And the question at the center of it all is what distinguishes a decent leader from a great leader?

To address a widespread misunderstanding about leaders and managers, we must first respond to this question. What's the distinction? "Manager" is a title, a position in the organizational structure. It's a top-down strategy as opposed to a bottom-up management strategy. But what does a leader actually do? Lead, naturally.

Although not all managers are leaders, all managers are in some way managers. People can pick who to follow, even though they can't always choose their management. Therefore, realizing that leadership is more than simply a job description is the first step to being a great leader. You can then decide to be someone worth following consciously. You need to have excellent emotional intelligence to be an effective leader. "Leaders are frequently so concerned with their status and their position at the organization that they actually forget their real job," Simon Sinek famously stated. Furthermore, being in charge isn't the primary responsibility of a leader. It involves looking out for those who are under our care. So some of the characteristics of becoming a leader include:

•       BEGIN INTERNALLY.

 Excellent leaders are always self-managing. Knowing yourself is the first step to managing yourself. Great leaders are aware of their own drives and the areas where they have the most room for improvement. Understanding your skills and shortcomings is a wonderful place to start. To find out how you work best and where you can contribute the most, start by conducting a self-audit. How does one learn? How do you convey information? Do you communicate through doing, writing, or listening? Which type of group—small or large—works best for you? Tension or cohesion?

Then, request assistance from some of your classmates. Several good inquiries are: What do I do well? What do you have to rely on me for? What am I the world expert in? What weaknesses do I have? What is it that you can't rely on me for? You can determine the leadership style that best suits your personality by finding the answers to these questions.

 

•   SHOW YOUR STAFF YOU APPRECIATE THEM. Sometimes knowing yourself well isn't enough. You must also know people in order to manage and lead them. You'll have a hard time persuading someone to commit if you don't understand their motives, values, beliefs, or even worries. Now, this does not imply that you have to get along with every one of your workers. That would not only be difficult, but also useless. Sometimes listening intently is sufficient. People want to feel important to the company, and even a small act of employee gratitude can go a long way. According to research from Harvard Business Review, 40% of workers say they would work more if they were given more credit for their efforts. Make your staff members feel valued and acknowledged, and they'll repay the favor.

•  LOCATE A MENTOR. I once heard my granny say, "To grow wise, you must learn from other people's experiences." Keep in mind that you can always improve. Find someone who has greater experience in your profession and has already conquered the obstacles you are now facing. The "shortcut" to success is unquestionably getting a mentor or coach. Additionally, receiving mentoring will educate you how to mentor people you lead as well.

 

•    BECOME A BETTER TEAM PLAYER. The quote by Michael Jordan goes, "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." He's correct. No matter how excellent a manager you are, or how intelligent and talented you feel, if you try to handle everything alone, you'll burn out – delegating work is one of the basic abilities of any great leader. So, how can you function as a team in the office? Everything begins with the intention. Building trust requires you to be dependable and open-minded, to celebrate your peers' accomplishments, and to value other people's labor. Once they have their trust, it will be much simpler to form a cohesive team that works effectively.

 

•   SET A DISTINCT PRIORITY. PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS STICK WITH A PERSON. Many people are on a mission. According to coach and BetterUp author Sarah Greenberg: "The best course of action is to ensure that your organization's actions genuinely do match with a bigger, worthwhile aim in order to support a strong feeling of purpose in your staff. Second, provide your team members the chance to engage in self directed, intrinsically motivated connections with a larger cause than themselves. You need a specific, actionable goal that is worthwhile pursuing if you want to lead others. Therefore, the first step to becoming a good leader is to identify your primary objective or priority. Remember that I said "priority" and not "priorities. "The fact is that we can't have several priorities, particularly if you're in a position of leadership. Southwest Airlines, for instance, is referred to as "the low fare airline." Herb Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Southwest Airlines, was once asked for his advice on running a successful company. We are the low-cost airline, he replied. You can decide anything regarding the future of the organization once you realize this, just like I can. Later, he added: Let's imagine a member of the marketing team informs you that, according to studies, travelers would enjoy a chicken salad throughout their journey. What would your response be? Kelleher responded in the absence of a response: Will a chicken salad help us become the low-cost airline? We won't be putting out any damn chicken salad if it doesn't. Employees of Southwest Airlines are capable of making decisions since they are aware of the company's top priority: being the low-cost airline. You need to set and communicate a clear priority if you want to create a successful team.

 

 PUT YOUR HANDS IN MUD.

 The lubricant that reduces friction on a team is humility. Additionally, "getting your hands dirty" is one of the best methods to maintain humility. Set a good example. Never ask a worker to perform a task that you wouldn't complete yourself. Be willing to accept your mistakes, listen to other people's views, and help people before you ask for a favor.
